It took me about 8 months to build it. But I was in my 30's and had two other guys helping me. They worked 8 hours a day 6 days a week. It was more like 12 hours a day 7 days a week for me :help: There is no way I have the energy to do it again at this point in my life :cry:
How is your project coming along? Are you still having fun?
Hi Fuzz!

Unfortunately I'm in a bit of a holding pattern as I'm saving up boat building funds to buy the rest of the plywood , flotation foam and more epoxy. It's going to take a few more months :( I refuse to dip into any of our savings, instead I set $ aside every month until I reach my goal. I'm dreaming about her all the time.

Hang in there Bogie! Your funds will get there and you could always find something that needs sanding! :wink:

Yeppers very few builders don't face budget issues one way or another. We are either short money or time. Sometimes both. Just hang in there and make a little progress when you can. And when finished you will feel a sense of accomplishment no one who buys will ever know.

Just found this and it's already a month old 8O . Guess my Detective skills have diminished since retirement :lol: Anyway, thank you!

Merry Christmas to you and yours,

Well just to prove I have not been sleeping all winter. And to give Jaysen something to razz me about. I raised up the transom and modified the stern so I can put a set of trim tabs on.

So your built a big hull around an fs14? I bet the horsepower required will be more than 15...

It might be too early to make jokes about the transom shape.
